Trickett Hits Runner Runner To Double Up

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Over at Sam Trickett's table, we saw that he had shoved his last 7,325 in the small blind after the cutoff raised and the button called. The player in the cutoff shoved all in over the top, and the button folded. The players turned up their cards, and it was clear that Trickett was attempting a squeeze play.

Tricket: {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The flop was a disaster for Tricket, coming {10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{a-Spades}. Trickett picked his cards up, preparing to muck them, but hit the gin card on the turn, the {3-Spades}, giving him flush and pair outs. Sure enough, the {3-Diamonds} hit the river, and Trickett scored the improbable double up, boosting his chip stack to 16,000. Not only that, Trickett has been getting a massage for going on five hours, and with that pot, he will be enjoying that massage for a bit longer.
